Svedka is letting consumers create its next Super Bowl ad. The contest offers a $500,000 prize for a 15-second spot. Submissions must feature its Vodka Water cocktail in a clear can. Entries are accepted until 1 December 2026. The move follows backlash over its AI-generated 2026 Super Bowl ad. Svedka provides a digital toolkit for ad creation. Andy Cohen will help judge the submissions. The brand’s in-house team produced the 2026 ad with AI lab Silverside. Svedka remains a top volume growth driver in U.S. spirits.
